Dial up is a pain...I switched over to cable high speed, and I could never go back!
Lucky you..........
We're out in the middle of nowhere and there are no immediate plans for cable modem in the near future. And Verizon is not moving any faster to get DSL up this way. Hubby is researching other DSL possibilities, but we're running into some problems because of the age of the cables and lines around here.......
I wouldn't change living in the middle of nowhere for anything - but it does have a few drawbacks :)
